Expertise needed

So on friday I go to a local shop to put on some 19in dpe's that i have been waiting for and the came mounted and balanced from the vendors i ordered them from. Less than 5 miles down the road the rear driver side tire comes unmounted from the wheel. The guys at the shop said that either the tire is too narrow for the wheel or something about the beading and how its poorly designed. Anyway the rears are 19x10 wheels with 275 toyo t1r tires. I have a 335i coupe lowered on fk coilovers. Does anyone know what could exactly be causing this. Its kinda disappointing since ive had to wait 3 months for the wheels to come in.

Sounds like the tire wasn't mounted properly... If it were mounted properly, no way in hell it would come off the rim

so you think i should just have them remount it and give it another try...i got lucky the first time cuz i noticed something wrong right away so nothing was damaged i dont want the same thing to happen at highway speeds

I'm no expert, but if it was mounted wrong=vendor's fault, poorly done job

If the tire is "too narrow for the wheel"=vendor's fault for not recognizing this during mount

If it's a "poorly designed" bead=fault of manufacturer

All in all, they owe you a new tire (and wheel if damaged) with profuse apologies!

There's no way a 275 is to narrow for a 10"

T1R's run a rounded sidewall - so the beading is out to the edge. However that said - the tires should fit on there without a problem. Sounds like as was said - need to remount.

yea i didnt think the tire was too narrow for the wheel cuz my boy runs 265s on his 19x10 and his are t1r's as well i think imma just have them remount it and give it another shot
